that was the plan. >> but the fun turned tragic when 11-year-old oakley, one of the debs twins, who suffered from asthma and a mild nut allergy ate a piece of pound cake covered in what he thought was chocolate. >> there was extract along with roasted walnuts on top of it, which looked like chocolate. >> we took our usual precaution. gave him benadryl. literally an hour to 2 1/2 hours later he cup >> i went to sleep. my uncle woke me at 4:00 in the morning. he said, we need to go now. i said, where? he said, to the hospital. >> that night oakley vomited and his parents called 911. the ambulance arrived but oakley had gone into anaphylactic shock. his airway suddenly closed and his heart tragically stopped. >> it feels like half of our life is gone.

and people get concerned about that or worried about that because they want to have those nuts. even nut dust, the dust of nuts or traces of it in food. >> the smell of it. >> can cause people to have anaphylactic reactions. in this case, what happened and a lot of people don't realize, a delayed anaphylactic reaction that happens 15 hours later. seem fine, things great, all of the sudden deteriorate. when they start deteriorating, that happens very, very quickly. >> the true tragedy of this is these are wonderful parents who would have had an epipen if they knew the allergy he had was serious. years before he had had a mild swelling in his mouth and stuff and given him benadryl. it was fine. of course they would think benadryl would help the next time. >> how do you know when to use an epipen? >> i'm glad we and the family are talking about this. you need to use the epipen if they had a reaction before. usually those reactions end up getting worse and worse as time

a mild one, next is moderate, the third could be severe. >> i didn't know that. >> anything around the mouth or lips, tongue or throat, a very, very worrisome talk to your doctor about carrying an epipen. >> can you show us? people do have an epipen and sometimes parents are in charge of other kids. >> when they go for sleepovers. >> right. >> the adult epipen, the yell loy, green for the child. 33 to 66 pounds. so it's a little bigger than a baby we're demonstrating on here. >> the green one. how do you do it? >> basically what you go is you pop the top. take it out of the top. when you look at it, the saying, a blue cap and an orange cap. blue cap up. take that off to arm it and orange cap ready to go. that's where the needle is. blue to the skies, orange to the thigh. >> blue to the skies, orange to the thigh. >> blue to the sky and orange to the thigh. not in the arm. it's in the thigh. muscle. >> the big muscle of the thigh. take off the blue cap, once you take off the blue cap, children, they just came out with a warning, they want you to hold the child's leg still, because

put it basically -- hold it like -- >> look the child in the face and count. >> talk to them and make sure they understand what's going on. >> how long are you holding that in? >> used to be 10 seconds. most labels say 10 seconds. 3 seconds they came out with a few months ago. changed the time to 3 seconds. it's still a long time. >> especially in pain and wiggling. >> take it out, the needle retracts and goes away. >> and now what happened? >> call 911. >> the confusion, call 911 before? call 911 after? epip 911 after. >> how much time is there for a child to be saved or anybody to be saved once they go into the shock? >> seconds matter. seconds matters. do this right away, soon as you can. some people try to call 911 first, have 911 tell them what to do. give them the epipen right away. >> you can't do it wrong. right? >> can't do it wrong. >> got to go in the muscle. >> long as you -- >> blue cap. blue to the skies, orange to the thigh. do it on yourself.

>> do it on your thigh. there's no needle in there. >> oh. >> show you how you have to hit it. >> yes, there is! no, i'm kidding. hold it three seconds. >> the main thing. >> okay, all right. >> if it's a child they're going to move. >> got to run. thank you. all great advice. thanks. >> we'll check in with our guys for some holiday advice. >> after this. >> boy, that's interesting. what the??? you're welcome. i just helped you dodge a bullet. but i was just checking my... shhh... don't you know that checking your credit score actually, checking your credit score with credit karma doesn't affect it at all. are you sure? positive. so i guess i can just check my credit score then? oooh "check out credit karma today. credit karma. give yourself some credit." sorry about that. delsym helps control the impulse to cough for 12 hours. which means, you're controlling your cough on your morning commute. and later when you're joking with beth...

zone with children," the single author, chris manzo in the house. >> last, not least, previously divorced. >> many times. >> then longtime engaged and now newlywed! yeah! >> bob guinea. >> there's a picture of bob and his lovely bride. >> how did you talk that gorgeous woman into marrying you, bob? >> it wasn't easy. a lot of wine. a lot of vino. >> where was the wedding ceremony? >> mexico. >> across the street, kids. >> okay. >> hi, i'm lori from omaha, nebraska, and i just wanted to ask, my husband and i agreed we weren't going to exchange holiday gifts this year. do you think i should still get him something? >> yes. >> don't do it. he's agreed not to get you a gift. he's not doing it. don't do it. >> i always say no gifts and i always buy gifts. i want to be the one.

>> that's the whole point of holidays. try to make the other -- >> the doctor says you're all wrong. >> at least something small. i can't imagine giving nothing. kind of cold. >> yeah. >> that's mean. >> the thing you hand them, a dinner reservation, something like that. >> ah! >> a promise of something. >> maybe kind of -- >> a loophole. >> i don't think it's necessarily cold. in my family we focus on the kids, and then adults, don't buy me a gift because you're going to be upset which don't get you a gift. i mean, everybody knows to give me a beef something or sausage. i'm happy. >> and a naked butt run! >> make christmas, oh, so bright! [ laughter ] >> just our little tease. coming back after the break. more from our guys. answering the questions. >> wouldn't learn a thing. >> who else is here? >> neil diamond's going to sing for us, everybody. you're going to love it.
